I was busy in my kitchen, listening to a cheesy entertainment show on in the background, and they reported that a certain celebrity was already looking "fit and fabulous" just 7 weeks after she had her baby.
Nothing irritates me more than the media's obsession with how fast celebrities get back to their fighting weight after a baby; why does it have to be a race? What exactly did she accomplish?
Look - nature designed our body to lose weight after we have a baby. Just like you don't have to think about the baby growing inside of you to make it happen (although you can certainly screw it up by diving into something like alchohol or drugs), you really don't have to be a superhuman to lose the baby weight. You just need to take care of yourself, and allow nature to do it's thing. And, a woman who kills herself with extreme dieting and exercising too soon just to make news that she lost the weight in record time is NOT taking care of herself, in my book.
